Deinonychus tooth?

[carch_23]

Hey was wondering what you guys think of this “Deinonychus” tooth? Info provided was Cloverly Formation, Montana, Cretaceous 105 myo. Those are also only the 2 photos available at the moment. Just looking at it now, one side of the tooth (nit the side with the bigger serrations) look quite worn. But i think i can make out some bumps in the first pic? So if they are serrations, the side with the more prominent serrations does look a lot larger? Thanks!

Do you know where in Montana? Lots of different Cretaceous sites in Montana and only a little bit of cloverly formation is found in Montana.

Unfortunately that is the only info provided under the description. I'll try ask. Would it be more difficult to confirm ID if that was the only info available to us?

IMO the preservation does not look like it came from the Cloverly Formation . look more like others formation in montana . But i could be wrong but Just be careful mate.

A key bit of information needed to ID a theropod tooth is locality so need city/county if you can get it.  I say that because sellers often get the formation wrong..  What size is the tooth?  If you can get that locality info we can then explore other characteristics to see if it can be ID.  No reason to proceed without it.  Off hand it does not look like a Dromaeosaurid.
